Hi All,

See output below. I understand what this is telling me. However, the issue is if I unmask libkexiv2 and kipi-plugins, I get further messages about some other kde package that is masked by ~x86 keyword. And this goes on continuously.

If I do emerge --pretend --update --deep --skip-first world, the second set of output is provided and this causes other problems - for instance, there are a whole whack of packages that depend on gettext.

I haven't been able to update my system in well over a month. I keep hoping a sync will somehow miraculously correct my problem.

Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

penguinchick ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=kde-base/libkexiv2-4.5[aqua=]" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-base/libkexiv2-4.6.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- kde-base/libkexiv2-4.6.0 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- kde-base/libkexiv2-4.5.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

(dependency required by "media-plugins/kipi-plugins-1.9.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@selected")
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
